Rogue BJJ Kids Classes (ages 7-12)

• Self-Defence
• Core Grappling
• Bully Safety
• Strong Boundaries
• Character Development
• Confidence Boost
• Steady Composure

Confidence, composure, and character.
We teach practical self-defence skills and “calm-under-pressure” habits that transfer to school, sport and life. Children learn to regulate emotions, show respect, and persevere through challenge - skills that build leaders, not just athletes.

Small classes. Big attention.
We cap class sizes to maintain high coach-to-student ratios, so every child is seen, supported, and safe. Coaching is positive, clear and age-appropriate.

Evidence-informed, play-based learning.
Kids learn best through games and guided challenges. We use constraint-led activities, problem-solving drills and cooperative play so techniques “stick” and confidence grows.

A complete, safe syllabus.
Our curriculum blends BJJ, wrestling fundamentals, and age-appropriate striking 

for self-defence (with a focus on awareness, de-escalation, distance management, clinch, and escapes). We emphasise control, restraint and safety over force.

A clean, welcoming studio.
Bright, heated/air-conditioned space, high-quality mats, and a supportive community - so your child enjoys coming to class.
